One of my FreeBSD 2.1 machines died Friday. It got caught
in a panic - reboot loop with the following message:
panic: vm_page_free: invalid wire count
It seems to coincide with file-system check activity.
[The file system claimed to have been beat up around the same
time]
I tried to reinstall assuming the file system was toast, but
got the same message when the installer tried to create the
file-systems.
When I looked at the source code that was panicing it seemed
that someone was trying to free a page that someone else was
still referencing?
Does anyone have any idea what kind of error this is? I'm
guessing that its either a fault with the RAM or the processor
chip since the machine worked fine for a couple of months
before it died. I tried swapping the two memory modules,
but it didn't help, and I don't have any spare machines to
canabalize for other substitutions
Machine was a P5-166 with 32M RAM
